I like this. The music is great, and once you play with the controls for a minute they're smooth. Made it to about $3500 before dying. Found two treasures, too! Hadn't found any when I played the first time during the jam. I kind of wish you could find a port and buy ship repairs or something, but hoarding the coin is a fine pirate plan, too.

Did you work in a team?
This was my first game jam so I worked by myself. I had a lot of fun making this.
Was the resolution a challenge?
I'm not an amazing artist, actually I'm pretty bad, but I think the low resolution was a good limitation to spark my creativity. I'm pretty happy with how the art turned out.
What did you learn?
Like I said this was my first Jam so I learned a whole lot. One main thing was to limit my scope. I had a lot of ideas that didn't make it so I'm hoping to continue the game in the future.
